The Right Thing

As the ringing of the bass drum sounds, there is but one thing I want. A wish few people would understand, underestimated people of the time. Over articulated in everything. This thing I want so desperately is so wrong but it feels so blissfully right. The pounding of the bass drum kills but every last soul.  The only thing I can do now is what I crave, it has come to seem as my only option. Exquisitely delightful, it seems like I must.

The blood is draining from my cold blue face. The effort I once put in has drowned in a sea of nothingness, a heap of pointless struggles. The effortless smile spreads across my face as a once in a life time event happens. The pounding of thee drum grows more intense with every hit, like a strapping thunder clap from nearby in the village. All of this running through your head only for silence to ring out and coldness to engulf thy soul.
